One tab. The whole studio.

Listen, plan, perform and export in one place. These are real screens from the app.

  1. Director timeline

    Drop in a track and it plans the video: a scene and its effects for every section, on the track’s own bars.

  2. Live

    Play along with rekordbox, Ableton or a mic. The visuals lock to the beat as you mix.

  3. Export

    Render the music video in any shape, from a square post to a 4K screen.

  4. Scenes

    418 scenes across 8 engines, blended into each other 8 different ways.

A real render from the studio: kaleidoscope, a flash and punch on the drop, a zoom on every kick. The track is SHABBA, Lysergic Therapy.

Short answers.

What do I need to run it?

A modern browser and a decent GPU. Use Chrome. Capturing rekordbox’s system audio needs Chrome 141+ on macOS 14.2+. Ableton connects through a loopback device such as BlackHole; it can’t load inside Live as a plugin.

Can I play a gig with it?

Yes. Press V for a clean visuals-only picture, or open the output on a second screen. Download the single file first if the venue has no wifi.

Is there AI in it?

No image generators. The Director reads your track’s tempo, beats, sections and drops, then plans scenes and effects. Every scene was written for Shabba.

Can I use it for client work?

Free is for personal use. Pro includes a commercial licence for gigs, client videos and monetised channels.

What can I export?

Export is part of Pro: MP4 in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, from 720p to 4K. Batch render makes one file per size.

Why does a render take as long as the song?

It records in real time, so a four-minute song takes four minutes. Keep the tab visible, or use the output window on a second screen.
